A piece of advice – If you’re an owner, a player, or even a fan of any sporting organization and you want to win a championship, just ask Chase Elliott to support you. It will work. It has worked in the last six months for three different teams in three different leagues.
They talk about ‘curses’ in sports. Looking at Chase Elliott, though, there could be ‘a curse in reverse’ in the mix with NASCAR’s Most Popular Driver.
This is because of the fact that all the teams which the Georgia native supported in the past season went on to become the champions. Sounds unbelievable right?

It isn’t.
Look at Georgia Bulldogs in NCAA. Elliott shared a tweet of support before their final against Alabama and the Dawgs went on to win their first-ever title in January 2022.
I’ll be rooting on the Dawgs from Tulsa tonight. Bring it home fellas! @GeorgiaFootball #GoDawgs

Jump back a few months, look at Atlanta Braves in MLB.
Elliott, a die-hard fan of the Braves, has confessed his love for the team on many occasions. And he was ecstatic as the Atlanta team defeated the Houston Astros to win the MLB World Series title in November 2021.
YES. YES. THEY. DID. @Braves pic.twitter.com/btBBZLpTmO

And more recently, the Super Bowl game between the Rams and the Bengals.
The Hendrick driver had picked or predicted a hometown delight on his and home stadium’s end, as the Georgia native quarterback Matt Stafford looked to lift the Lombardi trophy in Los Angeles.
I’m going with Stafford and the @RamsNFL tonight.

And that’s what happened.
The Rams won the Super Bowl.
The Chase Elliott curse in reverse. You better believe it folks.
How will the 2022 NASCAR season be for Chase Elliott?
Elliott, who won the 2020 Cup Series title and has qualified into the playoffs in all his seasons at the Cup level, came awfully close to back-to-back.
However, he was denied by his red-hot teammate Kyle Larson in Phoenix, who in all fairness, deserved the 2021 title.

But the boards are restored for 2022 and there’s no reason to doubt why Chase Elliott won’t be coming for his second Cup title. Think about it, he in himself is a proper racecar driver with a supreme amount of talent and skill.
He has the support of the sponsors, the fans, his own team, and importantly, he is backed by a reliable, strong, and fast car.

However, the only thing which is lacking in Elliott’s arsenal, considering the ‘curse in reverse’, is another Chase Elliott.
